On 3 August, a phonograph museum opens in Lushun, named 「旅顺留声机博物馆」

These are old stuff with beautiful sound.

It was once called 「大连古乐楼留声机博物馆」, you can still use this name to check on your maps and plan your visit.

THIS FILM IS A SHOWING FILM NOW IN CINEMA, but it is in Chinese language — but still, it is worth watching.

If you are in Dalian long enough, you remember it in 2010: Pipeline Explosion. 

The 1,500 tonnes of oil spilled from the pipes created an 180 km2 (69 sq mi) slick in the Yellow Sea that grew to 430 km2 (170 sq mi) within a week.[3][4][5] By July 21, the spill had spread to 946 km2 (365 sq mi), and stretched as far as 90 km (56 mi) along the coast.[6]

The film is about the firefighters.

Firefighters walk near flames towering from a pipeline explosion at a Chinese port in Dalian, in northern China's Liaoning province on Saturday, July 17, 2010. ... causing a massive fire that burned for 15 hours before being put out. Officials said no one was killed.

I have not been there yet, so it is just a piece of 'information'.

From 3 August to 31 October, there is a HALO park in Donggang area. From the name you can tell it is all about lights/lighting. If you are a fan or curious about the tech they use in the park, maybe you can check this park out.

Friday, the 30th of August, we will be meeting at TAPS & TAPAS. 

The ICD Networking Night will include a buffet, beer, wine and soft drinks. 

Members and non-members are all welcome to join us. 

Looking forward to seeing you there!
